The moment Keira asked the question, she felt she had been too abrupt.

Nobody wanted to talk about their childhood, especially not things like that.

Moreover, that boy wasn't from Oceanion back then, otherwise, he would have been brought back by the police.

What were the chances of such coincidences in the world?

Keira cracked a smile and was just about to brush it off when the door to her room opened again. Holly walked in, and Keira and Lewis quickly dropped the subject.

Holly still looked a bit uncomfortable, but she approached Keira's bed, still looking rather nonchalant.

She had a cup of honey water in hand which she handed to Keira, then averted her gaze and awkwardly said, "I misunderstand you. I apologize. I hope you won't file a complaint against Captain Lincoln and the others. Everything was due to my poor judgment."

Keira sighed, looked at Lewis, and after seeing him nod, she said, "Don't worry. Mr. Horton and I won't press any charges."

Holly seemed taken aback, "Why?"

After being wronged like that, no ordinary person would let them off the hook.

The police station would definitely punish her and Captain Lincoln and might even compensate them for their emotional distress.

Keira just smiled faintly but didn't answer.

If it were someone else, she wouldn't have put up with it.

But Holly... She fooled Holly back in junior high school.

Holly seemed to understand something and held her lips tightly. "Don't worry. I'll help you catch the murderer and clear your name as soon as possible."

After saying this, however, she noticed that Keira and Lewis's expressions remained unchanged. There was no sign of surprise on their faces, which surprised her. "You know who the murderer is?"

Keira raised her eyebrows and looked at Lewis.

She had her suspicions and had just confirmed them.

Did Lewis also know?

She saw him nod, "I've already sent someone to follow Connor Hill."

Holly had a sudden realization. "So, Connor Hill is the murderer?"

Keira didn't respond to this but asked Lewis instead, "How did you find out?"

Lewis began in a detached manner. His deep voice, especially when analyzing a case, had a unique charm to it. "There were only four people on the scene that day. The victim was killed right then and there. Apart from you, me, and Tom, Connor was the only one left. I've always been wondering that if you killed Finley Hill, where did the voice answering the door come from? There's only one possibility -- a recording."

Holly didn't agree. "But no recording device was found on the scene, and there were no relevant recordings in Finley Hill's phone. His phone fell out of his pocket, and there was no trace of anyone touching it."

Keira said coolly, "It wasn't his phone that recorded the sound, it was Connor's. When he saw the victim lying on the ground, he deliberately scattered the things in his hand everywhere. Afterward, while making the emergency call, he picked up the phone from the floor..."

She didn't notice anything off at that moment.

After all, it was common for a phone to drop to the ground after money had been spilled all over.

It was only after using the process of elimination to determine that it was Connor that these details slowly came together.

The only person who could convince Finley to record the sound in advance was someone he trusted. With Finley's character, the only person he could trust was Connor, his son.

Connor somehow tricked him into recording those words, then left his own phone at the scene of the crime, creating the false impression that Finley was still alive.

In this way, Lewis and Tom became indirect witnesses to Keira's alleged murder!

The way Finley fell toward Keira when she entered the room wasn't because he was lunging at her. He was losing his balance and toppled over!

Paired with that recording, anyone's natural reaction would be to push the other person away…

If it were not for Keira's keen hearing and the cautious character of Lewis and Tom, all of them would have thought that Keira had accidentally killed Finley. The situation was nearly unsolvable.

Holly was stunned by their explanation and then said solemnly, "Then I'll arrange for his arrest immediately. If he recorded it on his phone, even if he deleted it, we can still recover it. That would be direct evidence!"

But Keira shook her head. "Not yet."

This was unusual for Holly, and she was a little anxious. "Why not? I need to clear your name as soon as possible. Don't you know that people are slandering you online right now?!"

Even though she clarified it just now, netizens still wouldn't believe her.

Lewis said calmly, "I think Miss Olsen probably has a plan in mind."

Holly looked at Keira uncertainly.

Keira just nodded and said, "Holly, I need you to do me a favor. Delay it for a few more days. Finley said before he died that he would tell me a secret about Isla Olsen. Coincidentally, the moment I went to meet him, Connor killed him. I don't believe for a second that this incident had nothing to do with Isla."

Holly was stunned. "So, you're using Connor to draw Isla Olsen out?"

She said with a bitter smile, "Keira, I remember now. The main reason I misunderstood you back then was because Isla asked me to plead for you. Looking back, she must have been using me... But even now, I still can't accuse her. She's such a cunning person, and even if she really did instruct Connor, she wouldn't have left any clues behind. The police department probably won't be able to find evidence to arrest her."

Keira shook her head. "Connor's intent to kill most likely existed long before. Isla was at best just a temptress in the whole matter. I didn't plan to put her in jail through this."

Holly didn't understand. "Then what is your plan?"

Keira wanted to say something, but her throat itched a little, and she coughed.

Lewis quickly said, "Have some water first. I'll explain it for you."

Keira paused and obediently took a sip of the honey water.

Lewis continued. "I guess that what Miss Olsen really wanted to know was Isla's secret."

Keira's eyes lit up, and she nodded in agreement.

Lewis went on to add, "Finley knew an important secret about Isla. Since he trusted his son so much, he would have definitely told Connor the secret. From what I've observed, Connor is a thoughtful and meticulous person. He wouldn't easily reveal Isla's secret. I think Miss Olsen wants to pit Connor against Isla and let him realize what Isla is really like so that when he's arrested later, he won't help Isla keep the secret."

Keira felt a warmth spread through her body after finishing the cup of honey water.

What Lewis had explained was exactly her plan.

Did Isla think killing Finley could secure her secret forever?

But Connor was still around.

Upon hearing this explanation, Holly still seemed anxious. "But netizens are slandering Connor, and you too!"

"It's okay." Keira placed the cup on the bedside table, her voice full of powerful confidence. "Rumors are like a tickle to me, but for him, they'll be a mighty calamity that can throw him into confusion."

Her confidence left Holly at a loss for words.

Holly seemed to remember something and said, "Keira, let me tell you now. The message Finley left for you on his phone is..."
